The porcelain is hand-painted with underglaze, which means that the decoration is hand-painted before the frame part is glazed and fired. This provides a durable finish which ensures that the decorations are sealed under the glaze and thus cannot fade or be damaged with use.

We often get inquiries from people who have become worried about whether they can eat on their Christmas plates.
Christmas plates were originally made as decorative and collector's items, but it was also intended that they could be used as ordinary plates. To this day it is done to a large extent - for example in Japan.
Christmas plates have always been made from the same materials, i.e. mass, glaze and color, such as our underglaze-decorated plates, for example Blue Mega Fluted, Blue Fluted, Seagull.
In all years, we have complied - and continue to do so - with the authorities' requirements regarding the product's contact with food. Special underglaze decorated items such as Plaquette, Blue Mega Fluted, Blue Fluted and the like are completely resistant to contact with all materials – including food.
The porcelain is hand-painted with underglaze, which means that the decoration is hand-painted on the glazed porcelain, after which the frame part is fired again at high heat. This provides a durable finish which ensures that the porcelain can be machine washed. The inglaze method is necessary to achieve that color.

The porcelain is made of bone china and with gold decorations. Due to the gold decorations, we advise against machine washing the frame if it is used on a daily basis. We also advise against using a scouring sponge when washing dishes by hand, as this can wear on the gold edge.
The porcelain is hand-painted with overglaze, which is the most complicated decoration method for porcelain, as it requires several firings and each time the porcelain is fired it risks cracking.

Both collections are created with a matte colored glaze. Marks from daily use like scratches and cutlery rub-off are patina, which cannot be avoided.
The matte glazed surface is easier affected by the use of knives, forks, spoons etc. than a shiny smooth glaze. Scratches cannot be removed whereas dark cutlery marks can partly be removed with a household polishing sponge and /or some polishing detergent. Scratches can also occur, when the plates are stacked and then scrape against each other. We recommend stacking with a napkin between the plates.
The Zodiac figurines (both black and white) and the Daisy Bonbonniere are made in bisquit porcelain, which means that they are fired to zero porosity and without glaze. Normally you put on a layer of glaze on the porcelain; this is done from an aesthetic point of view, because the glaze layer is very smooth, and it does not respond to dirt and is very easy to clean.
A bisquit fired item behave a bit different than glazed items. It has a slight rough surface, which makes it receptive to dirt.
The black figurines are also receptive to contact marks from other materials such as paper, cardboard, dry cloths etc. which will give dry, white areas. In general for both types; they can be washed with different detergents, which can remove dirt and white areas. But one should be very careful during washing, since there are a lot of thin, fragile areas than can be damaged.
After a thorough cleaning, the rough surface will need a small amount of grease to keep a homogeneous appearance. Do not add too much so it will become shiny, but just enough for the surface to appear homogeneous again. Different kind of grease can be used, e.g. normal hand creme or something alike. A little amount of creme is added to a cloth and lightly scattered over the whole figurine. Then the piece is wiped of, and you will be able to see a good result right away.
